Wow. This means less than a month after the 0.4.5 release.
Though I have very limited time right now  I consent and try to do my best.

Translation possible for sure. New plugins with some tweaking or a little help 
too (they are not to complicated). Documentation is hard to say. There are 
many that need some help information.
@Prasenjit Kapat. Will you take care of that for the distribution plugins? 
Basically we can add the same information to each of the plugins and rather 
link the user to the R-help pages. What do you think?
